Shiver (Wolves of Mercy Falls Series #1) by Maggie Stiefvater
Stiefvater’s books read smoothly and quickly, yet they are relaxing and captivating at the same time. Shiver is no exception to this. The first person POV narrative going back and forth between Sam and Grace is easy to follow without repeating itself, and it gives the reader a great insight into both characters.
The plot is fast-paced, increasing in its intensity throughout the book. There are several twists and turns which culminate just before the end. Fortunately for my peace of mind, the book does not exactly end in a cliff-hanger, so it left me satisfied. At the same time, there are some things I certainly want to find out more about, so am looking forward to reading Linger.
RECOMMENDATION: Shiver is an absorbing page-turner with likeable characters and quite unpredictable plotline. I think readers of YA and/or paranormal will enjoy it.
